Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to pray in mosques that contain the shrines of the great Companions, or of the great righteous?
Answer:
There is no difference between the mosques built over graves, whether the grave is that of the Messenger, or Abu Bakr, or 'Umar, or the Companions, or the scholars, or the righteous; it is all the same, it is not permissible. Yes. In fact, the mosque that contains a Companion or a scholar is more severe, or a wali (close friend of Allah) from the awliya (close friends of Allah); this is a greater trial. Yes.
